I've been thinking about 2011 for eight days now and what it's going to be for me. No resolutions, just ways to improve my life. As I pack away decorations, I think of organization and finding things later this year. I also think of ridding my life of excess and making things easier. When I write, I thank God for my present and future successes. It's been a hectic time with galley edits for one book and content edits for another but I made it through with His help. I'm even thinking about a future proposal as I write my current book. With my full time job, I think about the future and retirement. I'd love nothing more than to have more time to pursue all my interests but that's years away and rather than wishing my life away, I need to focus on living each day to it's fullest. Every day is time in my life I can't get back, no replays, do overs, etc. It is what it is and I need to do more to make the days better. In terms of my relationship with God, I know that needs to be strengthed. I need to pray over my current church situation and determine what God would have me do. I need to be more faithful in studying the Word. So as the days of the new year 2011 pass, I need to ask myself what will I do to make the year memorable? Whatever it is, I'll do it with God's guidance and love. Pray for me. And as always, happy reading, Terry
